Houston-based Veristic Technologies designs and produces
self-erecting oil rigs for its rapidly growing customer base.
Veristic's patented technology in building specialized equipment for
unique customer applications is redefining the status quo in the
industry. Orders for customized oil rigs in 2008 have increased by
over 1000% from the year before. With each rig containing up to 10,000
parts, Veristic needed an effective 3D technology solution to speed
design and ensure timely deliveries to their customers.

In addition to Autodesk Inventor, Avatech recommended the
implementation of a data management solution so that Veristic could
easily locate and reuse model components and create accurate bills of
material from the 3D models. "We will trim the time it takes to
customize a new rig from one month down to five days. The productivity
gains will allow our employees to do more in less time, which means
we'll also see huge savings in hiring costs," says Ted Vora, President
of Veristic.

"Avatech's expertise in the manufacturing industry provides
clients with technical advice that leads directly to a better bottom
line," says Scott Hale, Vice President of Manufacturing at Avatech
Solutions. "Our approach is to understand the needs of clients as
though their business were our own so that we can partner with them to
make the best possible technology decisions."
